XLIII.

[[illeg.]s good to be afflicted, or else he]

[illeg.]s good to be afflicted, or else he
That spoke it, took delight in Misery.
[illeg.]Davids sins infect thee, let thy heart
[illeg.]bath'd in Davids tears, and then thou art
Endeared unto Heaven: for he that lent
Much time to sinne, must borrow to repent.
